This large Industry affords a profitable
market for immense quantities of corn,
paying the turner's, according TO one re-
port, $14 to SIS per acre. In addition it
gives employment to many people in and
about its factories.
A new variety of barley was few
years ago introduced into Minnesota and
Dakota from British America, which is
said to be the most productive small
grain known IN any part OF the world. A
yield of thirty four bushels from bushel
OF seed is reported. The color of the
grain is black. If the reports of its pro-
dHctiveness are true it will be likely TO
supersede corn as a food for hogs and
oats as food for horses.

WOULD WE RETURN !.
THE CENTURY.

Would we return
If once the gates which close upon the past
Were opened wide for Us, and if the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us clear
To lead us back to you his lost land at last,
Wher con LIES April shadows lightly cast
Recalled the old sweet day S of childish fear
With all their faded hopes and brought anear
The far-of streams 10 which our skies were
glassed:
Did these lost dreams which wake the souls sad
yearniDg
But live once more and waited our returning,
Would we return?
Would we return
If loves enchantment held the heart no more
And we had come to count the wild sweet pain,
The fond Distress the lavish tears-but vain;
Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst the
OF mountain gales or, on some alien shore
Worn out the souls long anguish and had slain
At last the dragon of despair then the train
OF vanished years came back, and as OF yore
The same voice called and with soft eyes beguil-
ing.
Our lost love beckoned, through times gray veil
Would we return?
Would we return
Once we had crossed to deaths unlevey land
And trod the bloomlsss ways among the dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fed
With twilight wings along that glimmering
strand,
IL then-an angel came with outstretched hand
To leao US back, and we recalled in dread
How soon the tears that once for US are shed
May flow for otherS-how like words in sand
Our memory fades away-how Oft our waking
Night vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would we return
Would we return?

A CURIOUS RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.
How the Mennonite Drunkards Select One Of
Their Number to Preach TO Them.

An interesting ceremony took place to-
day among the Mennonite Drunkards of
the Bowmansville district. They met in
solemn convention for the purpose of Sc
Letting one of their number whose duty
it would be to preach for them every Sun
day for a certain number of years. They
have no regularly ordained ministers,
although the seUt is large and quite
wealthy, made up of solid and substan-
tial agriculturists. They dress in the
simplest manner, and their religious SER
vices frequently are held at their various
farm houses, where the visitors, who
come In conveyances for miles around,
are most hospitably entertained.
When vacancy occurs, by death or
by expiration of term of ministerial
service, candidates for a successor are
named at various meetings of the elders.
These candidates are selected from out
the best members of their own congre-
CATION. No man is allowed to be put on
the list who is not in every way worthy
and acceptable to all the church directors.
Then, when all the candidates have been
named, within certain specified time
the time for the selection is set apart.
To-day's allotment was largely attend
ed. People came from the farms for
fifteen miles around. There were ten
candidates named, all of. whom were
present, dressed in somber black suits
and broad brimmed hats. Ten Bibles
were on a desk at the end of the ROOM
In one of those Bibles was placed thin
white card, and the Bibles were then we'll
mixed by the elders so that no one knew
which contained the card.
After brief service of singing and
prayer. an address was delivered beseech-
ing God to bless the proceedings and di-
rect the allotment so that the servant of
the Lord who drew the card would be
able and willing to serve heaven and the
people. 1t is generally understood that
several of the candidates are named
against their will, but if they are propos-
ed and accepted they must draw lots.
At the proper time to-day the ten candi-
dates reverently approached the Bibles,
and each took one of the books in his
right hand and then slowly took his seat.
Then in prayer he slowly opened his
Bible, and, turning to the announced
chapter In the New Testament, he search
ed for his card. Tue candidate who found
the card then slowly arose, made a brief
address, delivered prayer, and, after sing
ing, the ceremony was closed. His family
and relatives rejoiced at the farmhouse
and held a praise-mee In due tim Q
he will make known his hours for service,
aud hereafter all his worldly employment
must be made secondary to his new life.
Henry E. Good was selected. He is a
farmer, aged forty five years.

In some parts of Australia tie Scotch

In some parts of Australia tie Scotch
thistle, which has been hitherto regarded
as great nuisance, is being used for en-
silage. One farmer, who lad two acres
of land completely overrun with thistles,
had them cut down and stacked in green
state, with earth on top to serve as a
weight. The result was a quantity of
silage which cattle consumed with avid
ity. In Gippslapn, where thistles flourish
in uncommon luxuriance, the dairy farm
ers are advised to ensile them for their
COWS.

Going to Look After His ONCE.

Homer L. Pound and wife will
leave for the East next Monday. Mrs.
Pound goes to visit her relatives in
New York City, and Mr.. Pound
probably goes to look after his re-
nomination as Register of the United
States Land Office at Haley, his
present term lacking only few weeks
of completion. Mr.. Pound is Re-
publican, but his father having
stumped the State of Wisconsin
against Blaine, he hopes to be con-
tinued in office. The offices OF Reg
lister and Receiver here pay an aver
age of $3.50 per month each, and the
business will doubtless grow up to the
maximum $4,000 per year) in short
time.

A Branch Railway to Boise.

The Boise Democrat claims to have
information from reliable sources that
Chas. F. Adams had issued instruc-
tons to prepare for the work of build
ing a branch railroad from Nampa to
Boise City. This would imply that
the Short Line would surrender the
right of way for the branch from
Caldwell to Boise, which is already
graded nearly the entire distance of
80 miles. The reason for abandoning
the Caldwell branch and the work
done is known only to the company.
Nampa is below Kuna and about the
same distance from Boise. The work
on the branch will no doubt commence
within few weeks.
